Was delighted when I received these back from the chrome platers today, was wondering if it was worth hours and hours of grinding sanding and polishing down the very rough castings. These were the original ones off my K3. Not sure which bike they are going on yet. To think I nearly dumped them on more than one occasion!😳

They look fantastic Johnny, well worth the time and effort. You've set the bar high now for the rest of the bike 😁👍.

What a lovely job, I'd be well pleased were they mine.

Pure Honda jewelry!

They look awesome! :D

Almost Bling - they look brilliant.👍👍👍

They look very good. Was the chroming expensive?
-
Pure bling great job :D

£10 each one plus vat. £60 covering postage too. Didn’t think it was too bad, have you seen the price of a new nos set? And they are rough.
Just checked £43.57 each!😳

Very fair price I had a small wire bathroom rack re-chromed about 8 years ago cost me £45 !

Great job and good price.

My mate would say they are a 'top o'telly' job - you can put them there to admire them while the other half is watching 'Stwickly!
At that price, compared with new, I might be able to swing a free pass into Yorkshire for you yet!

There's a clever boy. Impressive. How long did the prep take?
-
That must have been some effort on your part, stonking result!
-
We have another polisher like Ken in the making! 8) 8) 8)
When I cleaned mine up before painting there were a lot of what I assume are casting holes - more like woodworm burrows that the paint fell into.

Wow, that was cheap! Not only cheap but a fantastic result - almost too good to fit!! ;)
-
Yeah, think I’ll put t lights in them and put them on the mantle.😂

I didn’t keep track of the time as I did a couple of hours at a time and wasn’t long before I either needed coffee or tea.😂 but roughly 4 to 5 hours each one.

Those are a work of art!! good job
-
Blimey, they are a testament to your patience Johnny.

I did have to dig deep to find that inner patience! 🤣🤣
